HOWTO

# LibVNCServer 0.9.1
# ==================
# If you ever want to uninstall LibVNCServer or just clean up files from
# an old version before installing a new one, skip down to the bottom
# for instructions

# I was unable to build 0.8.2 with gcc 4.0.3, but had no trouble building
# 0.9.1 with gcc 4.1.2

# Prerequisites:
# XFree86 or X.org
# OpenSSL (optional)
# libjpeg
# zlib
# rpm (not sure what this is about, configure looked for /usr/src/rpm)

cd
test -f installed/LibVNCServer-0.9.1.tar.gz &&

# If your OpenSSL is installed under /usr/local/ssl, add this to the
# beginning of the configure line
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/ssl/lib CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/ssl/include \

./configure
make

# Become root to install it

# Install it
make install

# Make sure your non-root user can remove the source later
chown -R $USER .

# Become yourself again
